[Swiftwater Gazette] Obama's line...

[Ed Kroposki]

Bill said, "I can't imagine why he is fighting so hard to keep his birth 
certificate under wraps.  If he was really born in Hawaii he could prove 
it in an instant, and that would be that.  What possible reason is 
there to hide the birth certificate if it says what he says it says."

And then said, "We're too old to buy into sophistry.  We may not know
the right answer, but we can spot a wrong answer.  And the answers 
we've been getting are phonies.  I can prove I was born here and never 
gave up my citizenship. You can, too.  Obama can't."

Yup, that is why I post the stuff that I do.  I believe the President of 
the USA has a obligation to be honest and truthful.  To me these are 
real questions that he could answer quickly or reasonably quickly.  
So, I conclude there must be questions...

I am the one who said that when you hold public office you have an 
obligation to hold yourself to a higher standard.  I am the one who said 
the wall street bankers should be charged with breach of fiduciary duty 
( I know that is a civil thing, but they are employed by publically held companies).

There are times in America where you should be held to a higher standard.  
If you do not want to be held to that higher standard, do not hold public 
office, do not be an officer of the court, do not be a member of the bar, 
do not practice a profession that requires a license, etc.  

So for me it is not so much where he was born, it may have been Hawaii, 
but he has a duty, an obligation answer the questions that are being asked.  
If doing so raises legal questions, let those questions be fairly answered.

I have looked evil in the eye.  I have been lied to looking straight in the eye.  

It is hard too recognize wrong in all situations but once you do, then admit 
it is wrong.  There are degrees of wrongness.  There are degrees of standards 
of right and wrong.  The Presidency of the U.S. calls for a higher standard.

It is my opinion that he is a liar, that he has been dishonest, that he has 
deceived.  If you recall, I said that early on.  I equate him to Jim Baker.  He 
sounds good.  So did the financing of problematic mortgages.  The guy is not 
really smart in the sense of being intelligent, he is a con man.  

Ironically some of my opinions and evaluations have been learned from Americans 
of African descent.  I am personally acquainted with several Black Americans, both 
men and women, who share my opinion.
